JUST IN: Sweating Florida man rates drugs for deputy

A sweating Florida man who claims that he was delivering drugs in exchange for a vacation finds himself in legal trouble.

According to FL Keys News, Tyler Doidge, 21, told authorities he was on his way to vacation in Key West when he was pulled over Tuesday for speeding. When a Monroe County Sheriff’s Office deputy approach Doidge’s 2008 Buick LaCrosse, he smelled marijuana and told Doidge he was going to search the car.

At that point, Doidge began to sweat, a behavior that stood out to the deputy, who wrote in a report obtained by FL Keys News that “the outside temperature [was] near 75 degrees. I have a protective vest and long pants on and I was not sweating.” Deputy Matthew Cory also noted he had conducted three other traffic stops that night, and none of the other drivers were sweating.

Cory found a black backpack with about three ounces of marijuana in it during the search, along with a glass jar containing 318 ecstasy pills.

Doidge confessed he was delivering drugs to a group of friends who had left them on the mainland in exchange for an all-expenses paid trip to the Keys, police said.

He also admitted he had smoked some of the marijuana before the drive, and when asked to rate the weed on a scale of 1 to 10, Doidge “advised that it was an 8,” according to the police report.

He was arrested and charged with felony possession of marijuana with intent to sell, possession of more than 20 grams of marijuana, possession of 10 grams or more of phenethylamines (ecstasy), and use of paraphernalia to transport drugs.
